I can’t tell you how disappointing this is.

This can literally be said about any two people on the planet. Just saying.

It was the 1980s, probably the best time to be a kid even with all the craziness. We had all the coolness of the 80s combined with all the best reruns of the 70s. Movies AND our parents were telling us that monsters were real. Plus, in Florida we had Miami Subs, the Most 80s and the most Florida thing in existence. It

I don’t know when she was a kid, but I’m guessing the mid/late 80s or early 90s. When I was a kid in the 1980s, during the height of the “Satanic Panic,” this was an every day occurrence in Florida where I lived. Churches all over the place were having bonfires to get rid of anything that they even suspected of being

Only what I read in “The Predator” comic by Dark Horse, “Strange Roux.” It said that the Golliwog was an arrogant rich man who crossed a witch and was cursed to become a man-sized frog and wander the swamps. That’s not what the Golliwog is? All these years Dark Horse has been lying to me.

The only Golliwog I’ve ever heard of is from the Dark Horse “Predator” comic “Strange Roux.” I had no Idea that it was a racist stereotype. The comic said it was a Cajun myth about a half man/half frog who used to be a rich guy but was cursed; sort of a “Princess and The Frog” situation. I feel lied to now. At the end

But why? It’s cheaper the get a smartphone from Walmart.

I guess it’s a good thing I have a Bethesda account.

Yes, Nintendo was really good at doing a lot with what they had. The GBA was 16-bit yet it could play Wing Commander: Prophecy which was a 3D game. Also, just as with their consoles, Nintendo skipped 32-bits and went straight to 64-bits on the DS... Well sort of, they cheated on the DS by using two 32-bit processors,

Seeing as how I only use it to watch DVDs, I don’t have a problem. Unless you think Disney or Universal are out to get me, that is.

Are you sure about that? I have a car from 2005 and it has weight sensors in the seats and multiple configuration settings for the airbags. 

Pretty sure that due to the ridiculousness of the film’s plot they had to set this new movie in a parallel universe, and those are just the Japan and Taiwan flags of that universe.

The Zelda ones look about right for the GameBoy Color games. I’m literally looking at Link’s Awakening DX right now and they’re identical. He’s using the same sprites and color palate. So yes, definitely only 8-bit for those ones.

Sounds wonderful. I was the kid who got a honey and peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat in his lunch box, and a small tub of fresh cucumbers and carrots. The honey was usually crystallized by lunch break leaving the top piece of bread with a brown glassy glazed look. I would have given anything for a ham or turkey

That’t exactly why you haven’t had the problem; you’ve used FIVE controllers. In that same time most people have only used one resulting in five times the wear. Most of us can’t afford five controllers.

I’ve been using the NES controller my entire life and I’ve never experienced the discomfort that people talk about, and quite frankly I think people are making it up.

So very true. I couldn’t agree with you more. Don’t use properties that don’t belong to you without permission. It’s as simple as that. Think about the movie “Galaxy Quest.” it’s a Star Trek fan film but it was still original and didn’t use copyrighted characters. If these fan games were really as genius as everybody

What the heck are you talking about? We just had two new Kirby games and almost every Kirby game ever made is available for download from Nintendo’s eShop. The same goes for Wario and Metroid. Nintendo is using their properties and you don’t have the right to tell them how they use their PROPERTY which they own. I

I don’t see the problem. Don’t use properties that don’t belong to you without permission. It’s as simple as that. Think about the movie “Galaxy Quest.” it’s a Star Trek fan film but it was still original and didn’t use copyrighted characters. If these fan games were really as genius as everybody says then they

ICO, Silent Hill 1 through 3 as VR games, and The Thing.
